Audio Gourmet 2010 Top 10. #10 – Before I Go.

BuzzMoo — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 08:55:55 +0000

Over the past few years I think A State of Trance and Trance Around The World really got me into the ‘year mix thing’. Triple J’s hottest 100 still means something to me today. But only the disks before 1999. So what about ambient, experimental and ‘other’, the genre I listen to most? Well, the Audio Gourmet label has just started a run of their top 10 most popular EPs offered by the label, this year. I have to add an important note to add here, to do with accessibility. Generally this kind of music runs at a dozen or more minutes a track, sometimes they run into hours. For a lot of them listening to the whole track is important to understanding the idea behind the piece. But the brilliant ones have moments that stand alone, which is a large part of the attraction of the genre for me. Anyhoo, Audio Gourmet only releases tracks that are the duration of ‘a coffee break’ in a somewhat novel attempt to make the genre more accessible. 15 minutes, no more! Consider it a form of distillation. The result is some quality material that doesn’t take long to get into.

Tonight at number 10 we have Before I Go by Carl Sagan’s Ghost. A restful two part release with long soft, airy passages. Breezes through pipes that wander to build something more solid in the deeper registers. Light and scattered static that doesn’t irritate, cosmic drones with suggestions of choir that ask questions but then satisfy. Water and soft chimes, you’ll be able to relax to this. Recorded August 2010 in Spokane, Washington. you can pick up the entire release, for free, from Audio Gourmet right here. You can visit the artist’s official site here www.carlsagansghost.com.

When I downloaded copy of Audio Gourmet’s Earth’s Exit Door, it immediately rose to one of my all-time favourite ambient releases. There’s something about all AG stuff that seems so connected to nature, despite its electronic nature (one of my favourite paradoxes of the genre). Now, with Subconscious Substance, Audio Gourmet brings us closer to home.

This is an album to play when you are sitting along, reminiscing about bygone times. Subtle, restful melodies and sounds of nature guide the mind to positive, yet nostalgic reveries.

Webbed Hand Records has this release for free, through archive.org. Head to the official release page to get a copy for yourself. Top quality.

Two Jams!

So due to some mixups and complications here in the bedroom studio I’ve ended up with two incomplete tracks, but I like enough to want to release them. Somehow I’ve lost the master file for the first track, and the settings for the second are entirely screwed up for no good reason. Both contain what is essentially my first “live jam” that’s been good enough to include in a song. Hence the jam jars! Enjoy their incompleteness and the boppy beats.

Pop Montage

RnB meets Garritan Personal Orchestra (because I’ve got it running again) but doesn’t quite make it to the finish line…so, for posterity;

I finally got around to uploading my music back catalogue (as they say in the game). Mostly for posterity’s sake, but if you’re interested in a musical journey of sorts you can easily track my progress here on the audio page.

A few fresh beats are on the way.

This is essentially a collection of bits and pieces that never quite made it.

Logic has been getting a bit of a workout down here in the Bedroom Studio lately. Here’s the latest with some release artwork from Frez. I used NI’s Massive and FM8 for the lead synths in this one, and I’ve really taken to “Delay Designer”…as far as inspiration goes, Ronald Jenkees triggered this one i”m pretty sure!\r\n
